Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program: Waiting list CLOSED
Section 8 is a housing assistance program that is financed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) administered by the City of Santa Ana to provide rent subsidies in the form of housing assistance payments to private landlords on behalf of extremely low, very low-income individuals/families, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities. Income limits are published annually by HUD, see "Am I eligible?" for more information.

There are a few key differences between the HCV and PBV programs. The main difference between the two are that: The HCV program provides rental vouchers that let people choose their own housing in the private rental market. The PBV provides rental vouchers that are tied to a specific number of units in a building, the tenant cannot transfer assistance outside of that specified unit.
